So, how did Nicki Minaj deliver her ass-tounding Anaconda video, the high point of which is a lap dance for rapper Drake? Asked by a fan on Twitter whether it was choreographed or not, she simply said it was “all drunk freestyle”. Drake is going around town saying that he enjoyed the dance. Nicki confirmed his feelings on Twitter: “He was very happy”. What?! Has she forgotten her three-month-old Instagram post: “Yall gotta chill. Lol this my brother”?!

After 35 years

If you’re in London anytime till October 1, don’t think twice about attending one of the 22 concerts Kate Bush is giving because the appearance has been 35 years in the making. The queen of art-pop has inspired a generation of artistes, including Lady Gaga who, in 2009, covered Bush’s Don’t Give Up. Her last album was 50 Words For Snow in 2011. The current going rate for the tickets is upwards of £1,250 or $2,071. And to think the VIP tickets to Michael Jackson’s O2 Arena concerts in 2009 (didn’t take place because MJ passed away) were priced at $1,100!

Simply nice

Sexy, cool… no, Taylor Swift doesn’t care about these words. The singer, who has just released a single –– Shake It Off –– from her October-release album (titled 1989), has told The Guardian: “Every artiste has their set of priorities. Being looked at as sexy? Not really on my radar. But nice? I really hope that that is the impression.” She doesn’t care that “nice” can be used negatively. “Totally! But I don’t care if that’s not cool, to seem nice or not. I’m not that focused on being cool and I never have been.” Nicccce!
